Organizing 101 – Winter 2013: Solidarity on the job

Toronto IWW is pleased to announce opening of registration for the Winter 2013 edition of Organizing 101, our crash course on grassroots, direct action-driven solidarity unionism.This is a two day course on building power in your workplace from the bottom up. It focuses on techniques for building a committee of workers who are confident and capable of addressing issues in the workplace, and for overcoming obstacles like worker apathy, anxiety, and the bosses’ counter-organizing efforts. The course is free/donation, and is open to everyone –so please forward to anyone who might be interested!

Do I have to be a member of the IWW to attend?
Absolutely not! The skills built in this workshop are useful to anyone interested in building power on their job whether it is in the context of an IWW campaign, an independent union, the mainstream labour movement or another formation.

What if I am already in a union?
Solidarity unionism can be used by those who are already in a union however would like more shopfloor organization and action.
